What would you want back for Scherzer?

Tried to post a version of this in the main forum but it was moved to some thread no one reads. In the 2 minutes before it was moved, a Cubs fan said he thought Barney and a pitching prospect. Would you go for that? What would you think was a fair return?

Scherzer would be an ace on half of the teams in mlb. The only reason he is not now is Verlander who is the best pitcher in baseball. There are not many guys I would rather have than Scherzer.

The only logical trade I see is someone looking for another pitcher giving up an all star caliber talent for him. Maybe a team like Texas giving up Elvis Andrus for Scherzer and a prospect. I think it would take someone who is top 5 at their position to get Scherzer because I believe he is that good. Plus he is only 28 and only makes around 4 million.

Scherzer is gonna get paid in a couple years when he's 30, probably close to $20 million per, he strikes out a lot of guys but he's not an innings eater at all. That being said, I wouldn't want a prospect for him, I want proven talent, and Barney alone is not enough.

I have thought for a long time that Andrus for Scherzer has been the best trade scenario...I agree. Just FYI, Scherzer's $3.75M is going to go to probably $7M for 2013, just a guess.

I'd trade him for MLB players that are under the age of 26 and must have shown the ability to play in the pros. Unless the team is going rebuild then I want prospects, something around the lines of 2 blue chippers.
